Brief course description

This course is designed for the IT professional or computer hobbyist who wants to quickly get their first Linux server up and running. It is four hours of console screen capture with highlights, voiceover explanation, and on-screen description of commands and concepts.

The course assumes some knowledge of computer hardware and operating systems such as files, directories, and disk partitions. If you’ve been curious about Linux but have been frustrated by the “read the docs and learn” mentality, this course will walk you through installation, configuring a web and file server, setting up redundant disks, and a number of other administrative tasks.

The end product will be an Ubuntu Linux installation suitable for home or small office server.
